Mariano, or "Yano," Rubino might have counted himself lucky to
survive, let alone achieve. Born on a Central California prune
ranch in the midst of the Great Depression, Yano was the child of
Sicilian immigrants who spoke no English-and who thus could teach
him none. But his parents could instill in him a faith in God and
in his own abilities, and an appreciation for family, community,
the rewards of hard work, and the good that life has to offer.
Armed with these tools, Yano knew that only the sky was the limit
Beginning in the 1930s and culminating in the present, this
motivational memoir recounts his journey: from San Jose farmlands
to an exciting career in skyscraper leasing and management, from
San Francisco to Sicily and points in between. With infectious
enthusiasm, period photographs, and a dash of humor, the author
paints a vivid picture of growing up Sicilian-American in
California. As his story unfolds, each chapter spotlights a lesson
learned and ends with a page encouraging personal meditation on
that topic. For instance, we see-and are encouraged to consider-how
setbacks can turn out to be gifts, how having faith that you can
achieve your goal can make that goal a reality, and how attitude
can make all the difference.
